Definately need a car to enjoy the Irish countryside thoroughly. Horseback riding at Glendalough Equestrian Center is firstrate, with wonderful scenic routes and a very helpful staff that caters to all skill levels. Also, if you find yourself anywhere near Hollywood (the original), you must eat...more Definately need a car to enjoy the Irish countryside thoroughly. Horseback riding at Glendalough Equestrian Center is firstrate, with wonderful scenic routes and a very helpful staff that caters to all skill levels. Also, if you find yourself anywhere near Hollywood (the original), you must eat at the Hollywood Inn---great food, great atmosphere, great people---and, unlike many places, they\'ll cater to a vegetarian or vegan diet on request!! close

The 'Garden of Ireland'...Wicklow is a must visit, just an hour from Dublin gets you out of the hustle and bustle and into the green lush rolling hills of Wicklow!

Visit popular tourists haunts like Glendalough's round tower, or head to Avoca where the scenary is breathtaking...pop into the Avoca Handweavers for a spot of shopping or a good munch in their yummy restaurant. West of the county is less touristy but beautifully scenic....The Glen of Imaal, known for it;s military training ground is the perfect base to climb the second highest mountain in Ireland...Lugnaquilla. Drop into the Imaal Bar for a well earned pint when you hang your walking boots up!close

Wicklow is my favourite county in Ireland, the town has still kept a lovely country feel even though it is now a busy spot. Lots of bars, cafes, restaurants and shops. Just 2 miles south of Wicklow town you come across Silverstand which is one of the nicest beaches in the area. I also love...more Wicklow is my favourite county in Ireland, the town has still kept a lovely country feel even though it is now a busy spot. Lots of bars, cafes, restaurants and shops. Just 2 miles south of Wicklow town you come across Silverstand which is one of the nicest beaches in the area. I also love going to Avoca and having a pint of Guinness at The Meeting of the Waters or taking a walk through the gardens of Avondale House. There is also areas such as Glendalough which is one of the main attractions in the area and Roundwood, another little town along the way.close

Top Rated Wicklow Places to Stay

  1. Stirabout Lane 90%      

    If you want to feel like family, this is a great place. Immaculate accommodations & Daphne & Pat are most helpful and friendly. It is a trainride from Wicklow...so speak to somebody first if you're not sure where you're going. If you want to visit Glendalough... it's a very short scenic car...

    This Hostel is great for taking walks around the Wicklow/Glendalough area. It is very peaceful and relaxing. Make sure you go to a supermarket shop before you go into Glendalough, there is only a general store a 2km walk away. This hostel is great.

    C'était trés bien, le gérant est cool, c'est propre, la cuisine est bien. C'est juste un peu paumé.

    The hostel was dirty (although, there was dogs in the kitchen). The room was small and the mattress was really old so we couln't sleep well. We had problems with the hot water in the shower. Also, there was unnexpected visitors: insects. The hostel is not well located: you need a car to get it,...

  4. Glenmalure Hostel (Hostelling International) 80%      

    The Hostel was quit nice but there has been no electricity, no running water at all (you can use the river for washing yourself) and no Telephone. I think it is important to say that it would be better to park at the car park before the river, because the river can swell and flood (the crossing).

    We had a relly good time here in this little mountain hut, but be warned..it is right up in the mountains in the middle of nowhere and there is no electricity or running water and the toilets are in the shed! But if this is your idea of a good time then you will love it. Frank, the proper irish...

  5. The Old Presbytery 75%      

    we are mature age travelers 60+ and found that the www ads did not quite reveal the situation as we found it... perhaps all it takes is that the proprietor leaves a more prominent note/message for arriving travelers on how to get hold of him and also, which one of the buildings is the actual...

  2. Glendalough100%      

    If you're lucky enough to get nice weather in Ireland, then a day trip to Glendalough is great. Its an old monastic settlement located around 2 lakes. Its a fab walk and you can also climb up to the top of the mountain there where the views are amazing, then you can walk back down and cross over by the upper lake, it really is beautiful.
